Bernardine Evaristo

I had my first go at Sky Portrait Artist Of The Week today.  Award winning author Bernardine Evaristo has been sat there on a Facebook feed while thousands of people at home paint her.

I’ve drawn her with markers.  It’s not good.  I think her jawline yneeds to be a bit pointier.  Actually, I always knew she was going to be tricky, which was why I found a still to work on with Bernie adjusting her glasses.  Face to hand poses worked out well with the chess players so I thought it might be worth a go with this one.

The sickly green background and name at the bottom aren’t enough to save this one but they will be enough for me to spot my artwork if it appears in the background on next week’s program.
